Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I've heard you all and can't wait to implement some of these features. :) There are now a few genre-specific RP boards as well as a beginner-oriented board and this general board (which you're more than welcome to keep using if you'd like, even if the genre matches one of the new boards), so I'd like to transition this thread into more discussion on features that would make RPing more enjoyable for you all. There are only so many hours in the day, but I'd love to keep making the forums better and better.
One small note that was requested in this thread: in addition to the new boards there's also an "Unread" link in the top-right of the forums (if you have any unread notifications) that lists all your RPs (and other threads) in a single place, which should mean you shouldn't have to click around between boards except when you're looking for a new RP – and hopefully the new genre boards help you find a nice RP for you!
Thanks again, everyone. Excited to make these boards better and better. More features are coming soon. :)
THANK YOU andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)! Everything looks great so far! THANK YOU FOR BUTTONS THAT SHOW WHEN ROLEPLAYS HAVE BEEN USED!!! AND GENRES! I could go on, but that would take a while. Everything is appreciated!
Maybe you could add a feature that allows you to pull up the chats you're in
Because sometimes to pull back an rp from the dead I have to sift through a billion pages and ultimately miss the thread I was looking for and then have to start all over again.
Could you make it easier to use forums on mobile? Maybe make notebook.ai an app?

Yes, this would be great! Like, a "Subscribed To" button or something.
Could you maybe have an icon that shows who's officially joined the rp and/or who is online, that would be very helpful in telling if we should continue.
I think the main things we want are:
• a button to be able to invite and report people in RPs
• an inbox like thing to sort only RPs we have joined
• a way to rate it when making the RP
• a notification that tells us when someone commented on our RPs
• for the comments of other players to show while we are still typing our own
• for a notebook.ai app
^I agree with all of these^
It would be nice to kinda have a drop-down menu of sorts. Such as, we could have one for levels, like beginner, expert, average, and any.
Maybe also have a seperate thing for one-on-ones?
Being able to remove unwanted people from roleplays?
A "block" or a "report" feature in the three-dot menu would be helpful

ya i agree, also i wish there was a "delete" button for old rps that you don't want around (but only the person that made the rp would be able to delete it) bc i've seen a lot of rp's that are like "ignore, i cant delete this," and stuff like that
i also like @Born_Confuzzled_Chameleon idea with a separate place for one-on-ones
I think genre and topic would be best, so that newer inexperienced people, like me, can find a spot to join in more easily.
Would anyone else support a separate thread for horror roleplays? Or am I a monster for wanting a nice 'lil place to throw my characters into the bleakest situations possible?
Forgive me if this makes no sense Could we make a finished roleplays masterlist? Like, stickied at the top of wildcard roleplaying and maybe people could post links to finished roleplays that could all be collected in the first post
I don't remember if this was brought up, but could we have a monthly limit on how many RP threads you're allowed to post? New users are constantly posting the same idea without any hold-back and it's super annoying to scroll through Limited and Wildcard to see these RPs, which haven't even started, and already has a duplicate.
Can we have a limit of users in a role play, and maybe the ability to lock the thread to new people once the role play starts?

I like that idea, but it's also kind of limiting for people who just want to see the storyline progress? so maybe like a thing to make forms and you can turn that feature off after a certain number of people?
a lot of people enjoy following roleplay after they’ve already ended, and a lot of people who start roleplay like having them followed? like stalkers
Yeah that’s fine, I think it should still be open to the public but if somebody isn’t a member they can’t participate in it if the thread is locked
ohhh like the update where stuff in parentheses is clear? and those are the only kinds of posts you can make if the thread is locked
Could you possibly add a second warning if you accidentally press the “report forum” button? I’ve done it a few times now without meaning too while trying to either quote or mark unread
A confirmation on reporting posts is coming soon. :)
